Children’s healthy lifestyle

You want your kids to embrace healthier eating, but they may fight you if you push too hard.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests:
Health Tips
* Let young children help make a healthy salad, instead of telling them to eat their vegetables. Explain the benefits of eating healthier, instead of forcing the issue.
* Encourage open conversation about nutrition and healthier eating.
* Understand that the temptation to eat unhealthy foods is everywhere for people of all ages.
* Establish limits on unhealthy fare and find a balanced middle ground. Such foods may be enjoyed on occasion but not banned altogether.
